I have an older G7-1219WM Win7 laptop that went dead during sleep mode, (battery may have died). When applying power and trying to boot up, it comes up with a blank screen and the Cap Lock and Numeric Lock keys are both blinking slowly (continuous). I've read through the various help forums and tried the common BIOS recovery steps, CMOS reset, etc. but no success. Same symptom.
The next step, before I give up and recycle the hardware, I want to try manually recovering the BIOS using a USB flash drive. Unfortunately I've encountered two different errors running the HP utility SP92875.exe to create the USB recovery drive regarding compatibility with my HP Pavilion tower/Win10. So I am stuck at this point.
Any suggestions from the group?
thx..
